Our room was lovely—charmingly updated and attractively appointed. Felt like staying as a guest in someone’s home. So convenient, we walked to everything! Did not see a single staff person, but we didn’t lack for anything so wasn’t an issue for us.

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. When I got my message from them, the door code was blank so I had to call but got my code immediately when I called. There is no staff onsite. The building is very old so it's charming but unless you were running the heat 100% of the time, it got very cold! The heater has a bright light on it to tell you what temp it is which was not great for sleeping. Very charming but a little bumpy getting in.

Great stay in prime location

What a wonderful place to stay. Clean and cute restored building. Wonderful lobby area for snacks and drinks or to just sit & relax. There is a cute large porch for sitting as well. Very close to the College of Charleston campus. Parking can be a bit tricky but we did get very lucky on our stay. You can walk anywhere in the downtown area and it is very safe. So many shops and dining options very nearby. We look forward to staying again on our next trip to Charleston.

It has a pretty design and it's more quiet and private than most hotels. They had snacks and an easy going feeling which was nice. We had a little trouble getting into the room initially, but they replied fast enough. I found that the email greetings they sent could be streamlined and more concise. I kept having to go back and check for the codes for various doors like the pool, etc. It may be better to have the codes texted.
